Maybe It's You.

Alex’s POV

“So what'd you guys think ?” Ellie asked as we sat at our dinner table. We had finished the movie over an hour ago but Louis and Niall insisted we went out to eat dinner together. So here we were dining at some Italian restaurant.

“I thought it was funny.” Louis said, his mouth filled with food.

“The movie was supposed to be scary.” Liam chuckled.

Louis shrugged and kept on eating. Everyone in the table chuckled at him and begin their conversations. I played around with my pasta as I looked around the table awkwardly not knowing what to do. Niall was speaking to Sam and Zayn so I really didn't have anyone else to talk to.

I spotted the guy with brown, curly hair again. His name was Harry and apparently wasn't much of a people person but then again neither was I so who am I to judge. He shot me a small smile as he noticed me looking over at him. His dimples showed but his green eyes remain the same. Dull. It looked as if he was the most sad person of them all. That's how I could tell his smile was just a fake. I was good at reading people by their actions or even by a look and I could read him just as well. I wonder what was wrong with him. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted as Liam clinked his glass of wine with a side fork.

“Well tonight was a fine evening. To new things.” He said, holding Ellie by his side. They looked at each other with the love look. They type you see in movies when the main lovers find one another and they go off and live happily ever after. She kissed him on the cheek and held her glass up to. Everyone followed their actions and stood up.

“To new things.” We all said in sync and drank down the wine. Niall turned over to me and gave me a hug. I giggled at his sudden action but returned the favor.

“What was that for ?” I chuckled. He shrugged, gave me a kiss on the cheek and sat back down. I laughed at his randomness, he had like five drinks of wine and was probably already drunk. I sat back down as well and noticed Harry stand up.

“Excuse me.” Was all he said before leaving the table. Lila who was sitting next to him looked over at me with a questioning face. I looked back at her with the same expression. She shrugged and went back to the conversation with everyone else. Suddenly I found myself standing up and following after him.

“Alex!” I heard Niall call out after me. I turned around and held my hand up. “Just a minute.” I said. He quickly nodded probably thinking I was headed off to the girl’s restroom and sat back down. I looked around trying to spot Harry. Suddenly I realized what was going on and I quickly stopped and stood there. What was I doing ? I barely knew the guy and now here I was chasing after him. I sighed and ran my hand through my somewhat messy hair. I pulled out my phone and dialed Niall’s number.

“Hello?” His cherish voice echoed through me ears.

“Hey Niall, it's Alex. I think I'm going to head home now.” I said.

“Is everything okay ? I can drive you back.” He responded.

“No it's fine, just go home with Liam and I'll call you tomorrow and thank them for the dinner for me.” I answered.

“Okay, I love you. Bye!” He quickly said and hung up.

I chuckled at him and stood by the main front door. I looked around at the dark street that was illuminated by some street lights. It was cold and pouring outside, typical weather here. I mentally cursed myself as I remembered I left my coat back in the movies.

“It's not nice to bail out on people you know.” I heard a deep voice behind me say. I turned to come across those dull green eyes whom at the same time were in a weird way filled with life.

“I could say the same.” I replied. He chuckled and took off his black coat.

“Here”. He said while handing it over to me and taking another hit of his cigarette.

“I'm fine thanks.” I said.

“Take it.” He insisted. His eyes, expectant and full of concern, nearly made pinned me to the ground.

“Thank you.”

“Harry.” He called out while shaking my hand.

I giggled at his ways. “Alex.” I said.

“So what's a foreigner doing outside this late at night by herself ? I don't mean to come off rude but I can tell you have no idea what you're doing or where you're going.” He chuckled as he stood under a little roof to prevent the rain from pouring on him.

“Well thanks for your concern but I can take care of myself.” I admitted.

Water streamed down his curly locks. “Really ? Well I'm glad.” He smiled as he semi crossed his arms.

I found no other reason to be standing here in the rain so I decided it was time to. I shook his hand just like he did. “Nice meeting you Mr. Harry but I should get going. Goodbye.” I turned his opposite way and began walking. As soon as I took a few steps I came to realization. He was right I don't know the city that well yet, hell I didn't even know where we were right now. With some hesitation I managed to turn back.

“Actually, can you help me ?” I asked as I wrapped his coat more securely around me.

“I'll be honored to.”
